New Delhi: A Bill to raise the retirement age of high court judges from 62 to 65 and bring it on par with the retirement age of Supreme Court judges was introduced in Lok Sabha on Wednesday. The measure is likely to help around 630 judges of 21 high courts across the country. The Constitution (104th Amendment) Bill, 2010, tabled by the law minister, seeks to amend Article 217 and 224 of the Constitution to increase the retirement age of high court judges. The two articles deal with appointment and retirement age of judges.
A Constitution amendment needs support of two thirds of the members in both Houses. ========================
